Luxury and Sustainable Capsule Wardrobe

I’m so excited to share my collaboration with Luxiders Magazine! This all year capsule is for the glamorous, luxurious, sustainable fashionista. Who also obviously needs a capsule wardrobe, because having one would definitely help all of us streamline our lives a little more. The budget for this capsule is a range of $50-$500. There are 41 pieces in total. The capsule is definitely full of looks you can take from day to night as well as summer to winter.

When thinking about this capsule I stuck to brands that fit the Luxiders ethos. In short, these brands fuse the best of high-end luxury, and progressive independent design. All are investment pieces, made to last.

Nemanti Heels, Loafers, Flats– Nemanti combines timeless, elegant Italian craftsmanship with vegan materials. All their shoes are luxurious and cruelty-free. Instead, they are made with innovative, sustainable, and vegan materials like an apple-derived leather.
